Videos MUST be 8 minutes UNLESS otherwise indicated.

I'm looking for a long term article video editor who can compile clips and images to match a script that we provide related to the following topics:
Music (Rap/Hip hop Explainer videos)

Video editor should be able to do the following:
* Speak fluent English
* Communicate effectively
* Turn around time in 3 days or less
* Be creative and humorous
* MUST be able to edit a MINIMUM of at least 4 videos a week.

If you have read the middle of this job descp., please type your favorite animal at the beginning or end of your proposal.

As you can tell, I am looking for the long term video editor and do have high expectations, but keep in mind, this will be consistent daily work if you are able to provide and this will be compensated quite well. We have been working with 4 video editors already for 3+ months but we need more to join our team!

Again, we will be providing the script and voiceover, we will simply need visuals for it and for it to be put together nicely and creatively with some slight animations (i.e. for the title screens)

So for the first type of video, here is what we’re looking for very similar to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syFkEfk-_cY&t=2s&ab_channel=musicexplained

TAKE NOTE how it has the following:
-THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO- Show a clip that is EXTREMELY relevant to the title, essentially a clip with audio (OPTIONAL: only do this if you understand the niche)
-Show the numbers with appeal and emphasis; if it’s not a countdown script, show the subheadings
-Video editor will need to find 3 types of visuals: clips w/ audio, clips w/o audio, and images
-All visuals can be ripped but should never last longer than 6 seconds
-Entire video should be greater than 8 minutes unless otherwise indicated
-Background music should be copyright free
-Show AT LEAST 1 clip with audio every minute afterwards

This is our GUIDELINE that we follow across all our videos.

Potential contractors will be interviewed through phone.

Here are more examples of videos we need done similar to:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F8krZr8G-o&t=29s&ab_channel=MusicDecoded%F0%9F%8E%A7

Additional Questions:
Are you okay with the rate of $100 for 5 videos?
How many videos can you handle per week?
To the best of your understanding, can you rephrase what kind of video I am seeking?
You will be instantly hired if you created a top 10 or faceless youtube videos before. Have you created one?

I'm looking for a talented illustrator to help me bring a chibi-style character to life for use in my educational video content. This project is from scratch — I’ll provide reference images and the overall concept, and I need you to turn that into a polished, original character with a variety of poses and facial expressions.

The character will act as my avatar in video lessons, so it needs to be expressive, engaging, and suitable for a professional but friendly teaching tone.

What I Need:
- A unique chibi character design created from scratch (not based on stock or pre-made assets)

- Several poses (e.g., standing, pointing, thinking, celebrating, etc.)

- Multiple facial expressions (e.g., happy, confused, surprised, neutral, etc.)

- The final images should have a transparent background and be in high resolution (PNG or layered PSD preferred)

- Art style should be clean, digital 2D, and cute but professional


Please share your portfolio, especially examples of character designs or chibi-style illustrations.
Client's questions:
  • Have experience designing characters for streamers, YouTubers, or e-learning platforms?
  • Describe your recent experience with similar projects

SIS Waves is the citywide extension of the Sud Innovation Summit, the leading tech and innovation event in Southern Italy. While the Summit gathers speakers, founders, and institutions, Waves spreads the energy of innovation across Messina—into cafés, bookstores, theaters, and public spaces.

We want to bring our static logo (attached) to life, transforming it into a vibrant, smooth, and modern animation that reflects the idea of innovation spreading like a wave.

🔧 Deliverables:
1 vertical animated logo (1080×1920) for Instagram Stories / Reels

1 horizontal animated logo (1920×1080) for event intros / videos

Optional: transparent background version (.mov or .webm with alpha)

Duration: 3–6 seconds

Output: .mp4, .mov, and working file (.aep or equivalent)

📐 Logo File Details:
Logo provided as PDF with embedded vector smart object (treat it as a .psd with layered structure).

You can extract the shape elements and animate freely.

Brand identity is clean, modern, fluid – feel free to simplify or stylize if necessary to enhance the animation.

✨ Animation Style Guidelines:
Wave effect: Animate the blue "S" shape like a flowing wave or ribbon of light forming the logo.

Sunburst pulse: The yellow rays should glow or pulse to suggest energy, sunlight, and awakening.

Organic and uplifting motion: The animation should feel fluid, clean, and modern – not mechanical or overly corporate.

Inspiration keywords: ripple, sunrise, fluidity, rebirth, motion, light.

✅ What We're Looking For:
Logo animation experience with modern, elegant motion

Ability to extract and animate vector elements from a structured PDF

Strong portfolio

Responsive communication and iterative workflow

A short, 30–45 second animated teaser that showcases our in-progress brand design language.

This will be used during an internal team meeting. Not as a final launch, but as a way to keep energy high and give people a peek at where the brand is headed.

What We Have:
- A Google Slides deck with the current design direction (typography, layout examples, colors, graphic elements, etc.)
- A clear vision: this is a teaser, not a reveal. So it should be punchy, clean, and get people excited.

What We Need:
- A 2D animation using elements from the deck (e.g., zoom-ins on layouts, animated transitions between slides, subtle movement)
- Exciting background music
- Light visual treatment. This doesn’t need to be overly polished, just confidently in progress
- Potential light AI-upscaling of assets if the Slides assets are too small

Brief: Character Image Refinement for High School Project

Scope of Work:
• Refine 6 existing character images (provided).
• Focus on tweaking faces, hands, outfits, proportions, adding shadowing, and enhancing overall quality.
• Maintain hand-drawn sketch style — not photo-realistic or AI-generated.
• Preserve original style, colours, characters, and themes — no redesigning.

Requirements:
• Work directly over the existing files — do not start from scratch.
• Must be created in Adobe Photoshop or Procreate.
• Use separate layers for editable components (e.g. linework, shadows, colour).
• Provide progress screenshots (JPEG format) showing stages of refinement.

Technical Deliverables:
• Final artwork in source files (PSD or Procreate format).
• Corresponding JPEG exports for each final image.
• Include subtle facial expressions and perceived movement where appropriate.
• Emphasise refinement of facial features, hands, limbs, and proportions.

Project Management:
• A sample must be provided prior to engagement for quality approval.
• Completion required within 24 hours of approval.
• Several rounds of revisions may be necessary — flexibility required.

Hello!

We are looking for a freelancer who can create a modern animation for our company’s website: www.wemedoo.com

We previously had an animation (which will be attached), and we would like the new one to follow a similar concept, but it should look more modern and better aligned with the current design of our website. Unfortunately, we no longer have the original working file, so the animation will need to be created from scratch.

Concept: We have oomnia, a clinical research information system, and all the tools presented in the animation are unified within this system. We would like the animation to clearly show that all these tools are seamlessly integrated into oomnia as one cohesive system.

For visual reference, in terms of colors and overall style, we really like the look and feel of the https://www.apple.com/chde/ipad-air/ (but we are open to other suggestions)

Our brand colors include: #1c2161 #386fb1 #e33282 #00c4e3

At this point, we are exploring different options and creative approaches. We encourage you to propose different animation styles, suggest how you would personally approach this project, and share a sample/draft of our new oomnia animation. It does not have to be anything complex, just a simple draft. We are open-minded and excited to see your creative ideas.

The deadline for submitting proposals is July 23rd. We will carefully review all the proposals after July 23rd and then decide which direction to take based on the examples and concepts we have received.

We are looking forward to your proposals!
